Enterprise AI Gateway Solutions

A provider-neutral control layer for teams standardizing model access, AI policy, routing, observability, and spend governance across production applications.

Why a solutions hub

Bring AI infrastructure decisions into one governed layer

Enterprise AI teams rarely have one model, one vendor, or one risk profile. Ferro Labs AI Gateway gives platform, security, and product teams a shared runtime contract for every model request.

Model access

Expose a stable API path for teams while provider credentials and model choices stay governed centrally.

Traffic control

Route by priority, latency, cost, condition, or experiment without forcing product code changes.

Runtime safety

Apply rate limits, budget checks, response controls, and fallback rules before traffic reaches providers.

Operational review

Track request volume, provider health, latency, cost signals, and configuration changes from one layer.

Solution paths

Choose the enterprise AI workflow you need to control first

Each solution maps a buyer problem to the gateway capabilities that make rollout reviewable, repeatable, and independent of any single model provider.

Enterprise AI gateway

AI Governance

Centralize LLM RBAC, teams, project access grants, API keys, and audit trails across every model provider.

Buyer problem

AI adoption spreads faster than governance. Security teams need LLM RBAC, project isolation, audit logs, and API key controls without forcing every app team to rebuild access checks.

Target outcome

Approved teams get fast model access while platform owners keep project-scoped permissions, key lifecycle controls, and audit-ready visibility in one enterprise AI gateway.

Gateway capabilities

  • Workspace, team, and project membership controls for shared AI infrastructure.
  • Project access grants that bind users, teams, keys, providers, and approved model access.
  • RBAC, teams, project access grants, and audit logs are live today.

Status: Live: RBAC, teams, project access grants, key governance, and audit logs. Future: custom roles and SCIM.

LLM observability

Observability

Trace every AI request with logs, analytics, sessions, cost attribution, and OTLP-ready telemetry.

Buyer problem

When AI calls fail or spend spikes, teams often have only app logs and provider dashboards. That leaves gaps across retries, fallbacks, prompt flows, sessions, and user-level cost.

Target outcome

Engineering, support, and platform teams can debug AI behavior from one timeline with trace context, request metadata, provider latency, token usage, errors, and audit-gated raw body access.

Gateway capabilities

  • AI request logs with model, provider, key, project, latency, tokens, cost, and error metadata.
  • LLM tracing for retries, fallbacks, provider attempts, tool events, and policy decisions.
  • Analytics, logs, traces, sessions, and OTLP telemetry are implemented.

Status: Live: analytics, logs, traces, sessions, and OTLP. Sensitive raw body views are audit-logged. Retention varies by tier.

AI guardrails

Guardrails

Enforce AI guardrails for PII, prompt injection, moderation, consent, external evaluators, and CEL policies.

Buyer problem

Every new AI feature creates another place for PII leakage, unsafe content, prompt injection, and policy drift. App-by-app guardrails are hard to audit and easy to bypass.

Target outcome

Teams can enforce consistent policy for AI requests and responses with OSS plugins, Pro evaluators, CEL rules, PII controls, prompt injection checks, moderation, and policy simulation.

Gateway capabilities

  • OSS gateway plugins for request filtering, token limits, logging, rate limits, cache controls, and budget guards.
  • Pro evaluators for PII redaction, prompt injection detection, moderation, and security checks.
  • OSS plugins and Pro guardrail evaluators are implemented.

Status: Live: OSS plugins, Pro evaluators, CEL, PII, prompt injection, moderation, external providers, consent, and policy simulator. Future: compliance templates.

Model Context Protocol

MCP Gateway

Connect agentic systems to MCP servers with registry controls, tool ACLs, logs, prompts, and evals.

Buyer problem

Agentic AI systems need tool access, but unmanaged MCP servers can create security, visibility, and reliability gaps across tools, prompts, users, and environments.

Target outcome

Teams can register MCP servers, control which tools agents can access, review tool logs, govern prompts and evals, and keep the OSS runtime path available for tool execution.

Gateway capabilities

  • MCP server registry for cataloging approved Model Context Protocol servers.
  • Tool discovery, metadata, and ACLs for limiting agent access by project, key, or policy.
  • MCP server registry, tools, ACLs, tool logs, prompts, and evals are wired.

Status: Wired: MCP server registry, tools, ACLs, tool logs, prompts, and evals. OSS runtime can execute tool calls. Cloud hot-path MCP invocation is in progress and beta.

LLM cost control

Cost Control

Set workspace, provider, model, API key, and project budgets with alert-only or hard enforcement modes.

Buyer problem

AI spend can move from experiment to budget incident quickly. Provider dashboards rarely match internal ownership models, and app teams need controls before requests are billed.

Target outcome

Teams can set budgets at the workspace, provider, model, API key, and project level, choose alert-only or hard-enforce behavior, and attribute spend to the right owners.

Gateway capabilities

  • Workspace budgets for total AI spend limits across connected providers.
  • Provider and model budgets for constraining expensive vendors or model families.
  • Workspace, provider, model, API key, and project budgets are implemented.

Status: Live: workspace, provider, model, API key, and project budgets with alert-only and hard-enforce 429 budget_exceeded behavior.

View solution

Fallback routing

Reliable Routing

Use fallback routing, provider failover, retries, circuit breakers, SLOs, and incidents for production AI traffic.

Buyer problem

Provider outages, rate limits, model incidents, and latency spikes can break user-facing AI features. Reliability needs to live in the gateway, not in every application.

Target outcome

Teams can route around failures, standardize provider failover, monitor SLOs, manage incidents, and change model routing without redeploying application code.

Gateway capabilities

  • Priority fallback routing across approved providers and models.
  • Provider failover with retries, backoff, health checks, and circuit breakers.
  • Fallback routing and other routing strategies are implemented.

Status: Live: fallback routing, routing strategies, SLOs, and incidents. Future: multi-window SLO evaluation.

Provider-neutral by design

Keep model choice flexible while the operating model stays consistent

Ferro Labs AI Gateway does not force a provider bet. It gives platform owners one place to approve models, change routing, enforce policy, and observe production AI traffic while application teams keep shipping.

Standardize model access without standardizing on one provider

Give every application team a consistent gateway path while platform teams retain control over approved providers, model aliases, credentials, and routing policy.

Put policy before requests leave your network

Centralize budgets, guardrails, logging, fallback behavior, and approval workflows at the gateway layer instead of rebuilding them in every AI feature.

Give security and procurement a concrete review surface

Document how AI traffic is routed, observed, rate limited, and changed over time so enterprise reviewers can assess the operating model before rollout.

Proof points

Built for the controls enterprise AI programs ask for first

2,505

catalog models

Teams can evaluate and route across the live Ferro Labs model catalog without hard-coding provider-specific paths.

8

routing strategies

Fallback, load balance, least latency, cost optimized, conditional, content-based, A/B test, and explicit single target routing.

6

built-in plugins

Guardrail, cache, logging, token, rate limit, and budget controls are available at the gateway layer.

Production changes without application rewrites

Update provider priorities, fallback chains, budgets, and model aliases in the gateway instead of coordinating code changes across every product surface.

Controls security teams can inspect

Keep traffic policy, secret handling, logs, and usage limits centralized so review teams can reason about AI infrastructure as a managed platform capability.
